One Million for Hoopa Valley Tribal Justice

The Hoopa Valley Tribe will receive over a million dollars from the Department of Justice to assist with their justice program. The tribe will receive $501,437 to hire three new positions for their justice department and $878,524 for their domestic violence program.

"This money means a lot for our tribe," said Chairperson, Danielle Vigil-Masten. She said domestic violence calls are made daily in the Hoopa Valley.

Pamela Risling works for the K'ima:w Medical Group and works to stop violence and sexual assaults in the tribe.

"We need to talk to our children and let them know that violence is not okay," said Risling.
